So the mystery is that the green light flashes properly after bootup (which indicates POST was ok according to the manual) - and the switch seems to work ok. How do I figure out what the 'failed' is in reference to? Could this be due to just not having GBIC's installed? Or is this a real hardware issue?

There should be some better diagnostic that you can run while it is running. Is the switch functioning ok?. Do you have the latest software?

I have a summit24 that sometimes stop packetforwarding. All diagnostics are OK. Very strange problem.... Anyone have suggestions?
